Chapter 308

Natalia leaned back in the bathtub, her mind replaying the events of the day.

The fear had not fully dissipated, making her temples throb slightly. Just as she considered getting up, the bathroom door suddenly swung open.

Startled, Natalia saw Hamilton walk in as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

"How long have you been soaking?"

It took her a moment to respond. "Why are you here?"

Instead of answering, Hamilton approached and lifted her out of the tub, ignoring

her protests.

"Hamilton, let me go!"

He just chuckled and carried her to the bed, where she wrapped herself in a sheet and kicked at him, but he caught her foot and leaned closer, making her tense up.

"Scared?" he whispered, sensing her fear.

Avoiding his gaze, she admitted softly, "Yes."

Hamilton embraced her gently. "I'm sorry I wasn't there for you."

Trying to suppress her rising emotions, Natalia whispered back, "I think someone's behind this."

"I know. Rest now, and leave the rest to me."

After a moment of silence, she agreed.
